75 Years Ago: Jan. 13, 1938 J.R. Phillips Offers Great January Sale J.R. Phillips, having recently moved his $15,000 stock of dry goods to his furniture store building and waiting completion of the work on the remodeling of the old Buchanan building, is this week announcing a January Clearance Sale.

This big sale will open on Friday morning, Jan. 14. Customers of the firm throughout the trade territory are cordially invited to come in next Friday and in the days to follow to see for themselves the bargains being offered in all lines.

“We are determined,” said Mr. Phillips, “to get rid of at least half of our shoe line, so we have priced various lots at from $1 to $2.98 for quick moving. We have just as attractive prices in winter suits, cheviot, dress shirts, sweaters, overalls and other goods. This is the biggest sale I have ever attempted.”
